CHICAGO, Ill, May l1.-All the con-
ditions this morning seemed to favor
the bull side OF the market. Besides
the cables there was a report OF drouth
In the West and Northwest, and the
effect of yesterdays government I'd
port, which showed a material decline
in the condition OF The crop, had not
yet worn away. June wheat opened
at 86sc, advanced until it reached 86kc.
At this point the clique aud the long
crowd began selling wheat and June
dropped back to $3.50 in less than an
hour after the opening. The CLIQUE
had again successfully MIXED the
crowd aud marketed lot of wheat
which cost them 85c on Monday at
$500 down to SOC, at which point they
stopped selling. Aztec prices got
down to 49, for June it remained
quiet, and comparatively little
trading was done. Corn did not fol.
low the same course ss wheat The
shorts in that product aye very eau
tious and inclined to cover. June held
steady at 4Cac,the openi 3 price, all the
time wheat was going down, and there
we're numerous buy ers at that figure.
